How do you take the design district of one of the world's most vibrant cities to a whole new digital level?

It all starts with a robust digital strategy. Dubai Design District, also known as d3, appointed Prototype to create a holistic digital strategy that would position the business park as the leading design destination in the world. Achieving this required us to understand their business, objectives, audience, and customers in full detail.

The Vision

The vision of d3 is to create a seamless customer experience that aids the day-to-day needs of the community. Therefore they required an aesthetically led digital strategy that would help the d3 community reach its potential online.

To create a refined digital strategy for d3, we conducted user research and spoke directly to people from the community, which provided a clear and defined action plan for meeting the d3 vision.

• Stakeholder interviews
• Vision
• Objectives
• Obstacles
